SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: EMMA COOK

Emma Cook, Shona Heath

Making a welcome return to the London schedule after a season's hiatus, Emma Cook delighted audiences with a highly-feminine, though directional and extremely wearable, collection that showcased expert draping gathered up by Art Nouveau detailing and accessories.

The third installment to a week of films relating to the Spring/Summer '05 season, this decorative film short by Shona Heath backgrounded Emma Cook's catwalk show and revealed the collection's source aesthetic as well as referencing the pool of innovative image-makers that have surrounded this progressive designer's work.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: JENS LAUGESEN

Jens Laugesen, Alistair McKimm

The title of Jen's Laugesen's Spring/Summer '05 collection (OUTSIZE 02: CMYK) gave some preparation for the uncharacteristic surprise of colour concluding the Danish designer's predominantly monochrome show. Whereas Laugesen's own design philosophy involves creating different, generic versions from the same aesthetic whole, filmmaker Jean-François Carly adopted a more narrative approach to recording the construction and execution of the catwalk show.

The only of Shows Film Week's shorts to venture backstage, the fourth in our series took a 'behind-the-scenes' look at the production of the fashion show itself.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: HAMISH MORROW

Warren Du Preez & Nick Thornton Jones, Hamish Morrow, UVA

Less interested in 'next season' than in a genuine future of fashion, Hamish Morrow took a couple of collections off from showing on the catwalk in order to consolidate his research into technological glamour and functional luxury. Having chosen to represent this exploration in motion image, he
collaborated instead with Nick Thornton-Jones, Warren Du Preez and United Visual Artists on this film, 'Fashion in Zero Gravity', about the effect of gravitational pull on fashion garments and image.

The fifth in a week of fashion films relating to London Fashion Week '05, it was originally presented in the context of an exhibition project staged at Belsay Hall in Northumberland May - September 2004.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: KATARZYNA SZCZOTARSKA

Kataryna Szczotarska, Dirk Seiden Schwan

Dirk Seiden Schwan's short film for the Russian fashion designer Katarzyna Szczotarska was a refreshing and endearing portrayal of a young woman's exuberant, emotional response to the fashion she is wearing.

An exclusive edit from a longer original, 'Appoline' was the sixth fashion film in a series drawn from London Fashion Week, S/S '05 season.

SHOWS FILM WEEK S/S 2005: RICHARD NICOLL

Jason Evans, Richard Nicoll

Shown in its second season as part of the hit showcase Fashion East, Richard Nicholl teamed up with photographer Jason Evans to create this sequence of intimate portrait images to demonstrate Nicholl's distinctive way of draping and twisting fabric. Intercut with moments of pure motion fun from Evans, the piece was the seventh in a series of very different approaches to fashion editorial using film, screened in relation to London Fashion Week S/S '05.

CHRISTIAN DIOR J'ADORE

Charlize Theron/John Galliano/Nick Knight

Drawing on classic models of feminine beauty from mannerist Madonnas to Marilyn, this simple beauty shot brought to life suggests a modern resolution to possibly the most problematic challenge in fashion image-making.

SHELF APPEAL

Penny Martin

An artificial sweetener dispenser designed by Karl Lagerfeld, a hairbrush
whose bristles had been replaced by locks of human hair, coloured contact
lenses that sported the letters 'CD' across the iris: each of these fashion
curios occupied the weird territory between fashion garment and accessory,
making them qualify for SHELF APPEAL. For the bi-monthly 'Editor's Choice'
slot that ran from December 2003-4, Penny Martin selected her then current object of desire, got it into the SHOWstudio live space and gave it a good old written examination.

NEW WORLD

Jason Evans

To tide us over the tense, festive period and into the unchartered New Year, photographer Jason Evans delivered some much-needed daily optimism. Sending an image each day from his month-long trip down under and more, Evans took the SHOWstudio picture phone to north and south New Zealand, Los Angeles, San Francisco, southern California and Hong Kong. Those who lamented the completion of Evans' acclaimed 'Beauty Where You Find It' project and enjoyed the sheer joy of his 'Daily Nice' website will appreciate the idiosyncratic eye, capacity for fun and unexpected tastes that have become the Evans hallmark.
